@@SamuelHikida it's pain. Your mouthpiece is huge so you guys can use lots of pressure. Our rim is larger than our cup on trumpet in some cases So yeah, getting up that high just hurts, your lips your head your lungs your whole body just dies.
@@alloftheabove8522 dang that’s hardcore! You could apply a ton of pressure to get up to the super high notes but it either doesnt work or it turns into bad technique What madlads lmao
@@SamuelHikida I’m not sure what it’s like on tuba but on trumpet the technique for playing high register is really different for playing low register. I’m a trumpet player and have found other players I know (myself included) have either a nice pleasant tone but have a limited range , or can play high but sound much harsher no matter the range they play. No one can have both it seems.
@@fl4135 Listen to Doc Severinsen man... he's one of many who has the sound throughout any range of the horn. Him, Charlie Davis, Robert Slack, Greg Wing, Harry James, Al Hirt, etc. But Doc is the absolute epitome! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YF8scBG0iJs.html
Those are nots in the normal range of the trumpet... Playing them with normal tone. How tf are u talking about that when he's playing notes over an octave above the staff
Dizzy Gillespie lived a long life and supported the generation that was coming after him like Arturo Sandobal here or Paquito D'Rivera on their way to fame. That was great stuff! Thanks for the video!
After playing trumpet a year, I don’t think people realize how high that is, I believe that’s three or four octaves above middle c. (Insane) Edit: changed 5 to 3 -4 octaves cause if you think about it is only three octaves but seems a lot more. Thanks for the likes, the most I’ve gotten before is 100 and that was responding a mrbeast comment 😂
@@alexhong1273 the reason it is called a double G is because the G an octave below is not on the staff, it is above the staff. Double G is the first note that can be considered “double”
I don’t play trumpet but the alto sax. The highest note I could consistently hit in the stratosphere was a D that was 3 octaves + 1st above middle C. Since sax is in the key of Eb that translates to a 2nd octave F (a trumpet double G) However, the highest note I ever hit was a D 4 octaves + 1st above middle C. That note translates to a triple F (his triple G). If you set your mind to it, it is possible. One more story, when I was in high school I would try to match the trumpets whenever they would do like double G’s in warmups. However, one time I was out of tune and the music instructor told the trumpets to tune and they just looked at each other in confusion.
He came and played with my college jazz band back in 93 or 94 as part of a masters series that we had. We had played with Wynton Marsalis a week before, and our lead trumpet player was of the (loudly stated) opinion that 'these guys are only good because they use really expensive instruments' (as Marsalis had this ridiculously expensive gold plated trumpet that he used) . Snr Sandoval had apparently heard it because he played the entire class with a beat up old Conn...and very quickly proved it's not just the horn.
Lol, reminds me of when I started college marching band. I had a music scholarship and a nice antique trombone. I got switched from euphonium to trombone unexpectedly in the 1st week of marching, and couldn’t travel home for my cheap trombone for a bit, so I marched with my jazz horn (very carefully). Another freshman at the time would comment on how much easier it must be to play, and even quipped while I was warming up that ‘I just made a good choice of instrument.’ Few weeks go by, got my cheap bone from home - turned out we have the same model. “Surprisingly”, I played the same from Day 1 with the cheap bone. His eyes bugged out real hard when he noticed.
Are you gonna tell a Cuban from the Cold War era of Cuban Communism that he has to have a Rich American Trumpet? Are you kidding me? What was that guy smoking.
that is like, higher than what school's usually have flute's range as. Usually they have it as the C lower than it, but it can go higher. Played a D flat above it once, felt very satisfying once i realised i could break the school's understanding of a flute's range.
Its not impossible if you kept practicing. I can do something similar on my saxaphone and I haven’t stopped playing it since middle school. I’m about to complete my bachelor in college.
@@itstoasty7089 I’m a sax player too but you would have to understand that going altissimo on saxophone is not as impressive as screaming on a trumpet. That shit is all aperture focus and embouchure technique. It’s something the even professional musicians can even struggle to achieve
The most impressive thing is how clean this is. There’s a good handful of people who can squeak out some notes in the triple register of the trumpet. But man, Arturo can PLAY up there. That’s a whole different level of skill.
I was there that night in London and saw them in bristol (UK) too. Amazing band, not just Arturo. Best big band concerts I’ve ever seen - you have no idea how powerful the band was live and especially Arturo’s playing over the top of it. Incredible.
That’s a few notes from Phil Green’s EM-155, which was originally an Accordion Music., from The Capitol Production Music Library. I can’t reach that high on the Trumpet, but I could on the Piano.
My range goal is to be able to play this, as I've never seen anything higher than this that couldn't be substituted with something lower. So far I have a consistent although not perfect double C, and a daily F above double C, although it's not consistent and only when fresh. Occasionally a g or a above that, but they don't sit at all
First time I heard Tunisia this way live was with my dad at Blues Alley in DC. That place felt like what you hear listening to a live big band or rat pack album in Vegas or the like. RIP Blues Alley.
I remember my dad freaking out (he's played trumpet his whole life, likely why I picked it up) when he heard me squealing some different bars during practice one day. I had squealed by accident a few days prior and had been playing around in that upper register after figuring out how I did it. I never got it really clean, but it was fun to annoy people with in band. It's really, really hard on the ears in a small room, haha.
My God 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 im a bass player/percussion and i have so much adoration right now and respect. My roommate back in college had a trumpet. I tried playing it and whew, the amount of breath and lung power yall guys have to have to acquire this type of range is insane !
OK, the trumpet is not meant to go that high in a clean controlled fashion, and that's why the high notes were not very pleasantly clean and controlled however, that was amazing that this guy went up to a high F! As a former piccolo player, the high F is actually the same F on this trumpet's score. On a picc, it's easy but on a trumpet? Not easy at all! Good job, sir! Hats off to you!
@@altoclef4249 It’s more common on strings, but it’s not just limited to them. There’s so many recordings out there with wind instruments doing vibrato. It makes it sound less bland and empty and just adds more spice to the music.
@@altoclef4249 For the comment about his hand, it’s pretty normal for us brass players to do that. There’s three common ways for vibrato on brass: You could make your jaw move up and down, you could do it by changing your airspeed, or you could wobble the instrument with your hand like he is doing. There’s nothing wrong with him, he’s not the only one who produces vibrato that way.
